Tuesday's Sound Off

Every moment of the airwaves just about is currently being filled with all the latest information on Syria and their president and all the information we can find out about supposedly gassing those people but we can’t find out anything out about Benghazi or why we can’t close our borders or President Obama’s health care until after it’s passed, and we’re still finding out about that aren’t we. Who really wants this war? I’d like to know.

A DISGUSTED AMERICAN CITIZEN

With all the positive reactions surrounding the Affordable Care Act the Republicans are vigorously pushing the train wreck theory. What a waste of time. Obamacare eliminates waste that has plagued the health care system for many years. No longer will hospitals be able to charge $11 for two Tylenols and doctors will not be able to performs tests that are unnecessary. Emergency rooms will no longer be stuck with unpaid emergency costs.

THINK ABOUT IT

I wish the Pottstown School District would have informed the parents at the middle school and high school, the students and the bus drivers of how they changed the driving directions in the driveways — the do not enter and no parking in the circle. This was very confusing, didn’t know it. Also, I’ve seen people going up Franklin Street the wrong way and from East Street to the driveway of the middle school the wrong way and nothing is done. WHAT GOOD IS IT GOING TO DO?

Too much time, money and energy is being spent trying to fix other countries’ problems when it should be spent trying to fix our own problems for our own people in the USA. I don’t care what’s going on in other countries; I’m concerned about our own people here. I voted for Obama the first time but I’m going to do the happy dance when he’s finally out because I don’t know what he’s done for our people. He’s an obamination. It’s a disgrace.

There is as much disability as Welfare. I watch a lady use her cane when she goes away but when she’s home, she carries her grandchildren, mows her yard, etc. The whole family is lazy and do nothing but smoke. Other people in wheelchairs go to work. Too many supposedly have a bad back and need disability and they get it.

Kudos to Ralph Kramden. I share your dream that one day there will be no Obama. I have a dream that Benghazi will never happen again. I have a dream that all babies will be free to be born. I have a dream that all faiths will have religious liberty. I have a dream that we will survive Obama.

MARTHA

I read the comment about the international law and there’s something called The Right To Protect where if a government is unable to protect its system. I am pretty sure that if the USA ever needed protection, nobody would stand up for us. Nobody. Good laugh. And that’s a sin but usually we are unwelcome in these countries. Nobody’s going to come help us. You’re mistaken.

With this action in Syria, why doesn’t the U.N. go in and take him out of power over there instead of having the U.S. being peacemakers all the time? We can’t be peacemakers all over the world. We cannot afford to do this. If the United Nations doesn’t take action, let the U.S. sanction everything that’s coming out of there. If that doesn’t work, then go to the U.N. again and tell them they have to remove him.

While I cannot make the bus trip to Harrisburg on Sept. 24 for the property tax reform I pray they can fill several buses. Something desperately needs to be done for property owners and not the school boards and teachers. Tell Reps. Benninghoff and Grove that HB 1189 does nothing to help us. We desperately need HB 76. We senior citizens need that property tax money to live on. All these extras that the school boards are doing are unnecessary.

I was all prepared to sit down, relax and watch the soap opera, “The Young and the Restless,” on Friday at 12:30 p.m. when they announced the soaps would return on Monday due to airing the U.S. Open Tennis Championships. Boring. Why can’t they show that on primetime TV say at 7 or 8 p.m. Who cares about tennis. I’d rather sooner watch paint dry.

I have a lot of current mystery novels that are in terrific shape and I am out of work and would like to find a place to sell them. One bookstore told me people aren’t reading these. They certainly are. If you can tell me a place where I can get a couple bucks for each book, I certainly would appreciate so I could get some extra money.
